Michael was truly unique, truly very gifted. We were the only school that recruited him as a quarterback. Snyder: Everyone wanted to bring him to their school to be a defensive back or a variety of different positions.

But because of the computers, they needed help. Going into the final weekend of the 1998 season, Tennessee, UCLA and K-State were all undefeated, generating a massive controversy in the debut year of the BCS.
